Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Near Mint condition original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

Side White:
Procession
Father To Son
White Queen (As It Began)
Some Day One Day
The Loser In The End

Side Black:
Ogre Battle
The Fairy Feller’s Master-Stroke
Nevermore
The March Of The Black Queen
Funny How Love Is
The Seven Seas Of Rhye

From the opening beats of the instrumental "Procession" to the closing sing-a-long that concludes "Seven Seas of Rhye", Queen II will have you on the edge of your seat. May has two wonderful tunes in the hard-rocking "Father to Son" and the incredibly moving "White Queen". He handles lead vocals for the first time in the charming "Some Day One Day", before Taylor's hard hitting "Loser in the End" closes Side White.
Mercury's Side Black goes even further, with some of Queen's greatest ever songs. The ultra-aggressive fantasy metal piece "Ogre Battle" takes one's breath away with amazing vocals, lyrics & powerful guitar-riffing from May. It's followed by the harpsichord driven curiosity "Fairy Feller's Master Stroke" which segues into a beautiful but brief piano ballad "Nevermore". All this is topped by "March of the Black Queen" (which stands alongside Queen's great prog epics "Prophet's Song" and "Bohemian Rhapsody"). "Funny How Love Is" provides a little bit of light relief before the glorious "Seven Seas of Rhye" closes one of the outstanding, underrated albums in prog and Queen's history.
